A fascinating exploration of the many faces of God and what they
reveal about our own humanity He was a whole pantheon in Himself .
He constantly appeared in many and ever-changing roles lest He be
frozen and converted into the dumb idols He Himself despised. God
was a polyvalent personality who, by mirroring to man His many
faces, provided the models that man so needed to survive and
flourish. This is the true humanity of God. from the Introduction
In scholarly but accessible terms, with many startling and
controversial insights, renowned Bible scholar Dr. Yochanan Muffs
examines the anthropomorphic evolution of the Divine Image from
creator of the cosmos to God the father, God the husband, God the
king, God the "chess-player," God the ultimate master and how these
different images of God have shaped our faith and world view. Muffs
also examines how expressions of divine power, divine will and
divine love throughout the Bible have helped develop the
contemporary human condition and our enriching dialectic between
faith and doubt."
